Only a couple of weeks until day 1 of the conference…

We know there are procrastinators who have not registered and have good intentions to do so before the conference starts. Please, please, please do so sooner than later. Our hard working registration staff of one is also a presenter who is practicing and refining his session, and an organizer, and has more than a full-time job working on customer projects. If you all wait until the week of the conference to register, let’s just say you might not get the credentials in time to see the first session on October 15th. It literally takes minutes to register.

We don’t want you to miss all the details about the conference we are sharing over the next couple of weeks. We want you to have a chance to read white papers and download the examples once we release them before the conference starts. We’d hate to see you miss the opportunity to get a head start on all the goodies. Go get registered! Now, really, don’t waste another minute.

Because we were all busy this summer, we extended the Early-Bird Registration deadline, but it’s almost here. Save $50 by registering before today, Friday, August 30th at Midnight (Eastern Time). Every registered attendee gets admission and white papers to all regular conference sessions, tons of networking opportunities, plus you can register for a free admission to the X# post conference session. Don’t miss this chance to learn from the best and mix with your peers.

We look forward to seeing you in October!

Only 55 days until we gather in Gilbert.

Andrew Ross MacNeill, the host of The FoxShow, interviewed each of the Southwest Fox organizers separately this year and talked to each of about how we got into computing, why we go to conferences and much more. The first two of the shows are available now.
We’ll let you know when Tamar’s interview is posted. Thanks, Andrew, as always for helping us spread the word about Southwest Fox. Oh, and registration is open as well, you can secure your slot on the conference registration site.

Registration for Southwest Fox (http://www.swfox.net/register.aspx) is now available. See http://www.swfox.net/speakers.aspx for a list of speakers and http://www.swfox.net/sessionsswfox.aspx for a list of sessions. Super-Saver Registration, which saves you $125, is available only through June 30th, so don’t wait. We also let you pick a free pre-con if you register by June 30th.

Putting on a conference is a risky endeavor. Conference centers require a guaranteed minimum income to block the dates of a conference; for a conference like Southwest Fox, that minimum is in the tens of thousands of dollars. We have to commit to the conference center by July 2nd and need your support by July 1st to make that commitment. We will not send out any “We need your help” appeals so please do not wait; register by June 30th! We know most of you like to wait until the last minute to avoid the credit card bill arriving too soon. We will not charge any attendee credit cards or cash any checks until we have committed to going forward (sometime after July 2), so this is not is a reason to wait.

We look forward to seeing you in October.
